I literally just finished watching the video and open Lemmy to find this as the first post. That’s kinda crazy. It’s a great video. Just in case it hasn’t been posted yet here it is
I love this dude’s work. He’s so chaotic, and it makes me happy to see someone thriving by leaning in their ADHD
Benn Jordan is one of my favorite musicians, YouTubers, and people in the world. Highly recommended
What if all songbirds today are just singing encoded messages from a long dead civilization, passed down through generations of birds, and we just haven’t realised it yet
But the reason there is nothing obvious on the spectrogram is because it’s compressed data
*hits bong*
you have heard about IP over avian carrier
now get ready for:
Is this solarpunk?
Biopunk.
Ecopunk
Steganography. Smuggling data in migratory bird brains.
Revival of the carrier pigeon
Would be more impressive if birds were real.
Yeah, if anything, this just proves they’re trancieving digital data. Not a good look for things that supposedly are not government surveillance drones. Imagine the mental gymnastics of someone still calling them animals afrer uploadung a digital file to something that looks like it’s covered in patchwork taxidermy from mammal and reptile parts and that spends all day flying, watching people, marking targets with paint and making jerky mechanical movements. I guess it takes all kinds to make a world, but still.
Imagine trying to catch random birds one day in the not so distant future to see if it “contains” an image.
This is a concept in the Dune book series where the fremen use bats and birds who’s speech they can modify in a way that encoded any secret message they want and then they send the bird out and someone else can then catch the bird and decode it’s speech to get the message. That’s why in the Dune 2 movie there’s a bird menagerie inside the fremen caves
Sounds based. Imagine getting Rick rolled by a bird 🤣
Imagine finding that a bird “stored” a nude

New dystopian achievement unlocked:
Age verification for bird watching.
Yes, but can Doom be played via birdsong?
Hate to be that guy, but PNG is a lossless format… Not sure bird based storage is lossless lol
They should have credited Benn Jordan, aka The Flashbulb, as the one who came up with this idea. Link to the video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hCQCP-5g5boCan save a ZIP-bomb to a bird?
What’s that weird symbol combination that kills iPhones if you text them to someone? I have a bird.
Time to update the video on hard drives no one wants.
ETA: Not a dis. These are actually really interesting.
Coupled with IP-over-avian-carrier, this would potentially make for an interesting concept.
you could call it starlink
Starlingk*
And also make for a giant network of bird-dropping cataclysms weaving through the most populous areas.

Why is Idaho’s Internet infrastructure in the shape of a shitting llama?
Why is Idaho’s Internet infrastructure in the shape of a shitting llama?
That’s probably because Idaho’s Internet-using population is i the shape of a shitting llama.
If only there were a common bird, that could “carry” this message.
I feel like starlings are pretty common.
Common Starlings are actually not native to North America and all of the wild Starlings in NA are descended from intentionally released European Starlings.
How many birds do I need for about 4 hours at 15 Mbps? I want to watch The Return of the King in 4k.
One standard murmur.
